^ No more difficult than the SW20's. In fact, it's probably easier to convert the AW11 headlights.

you're serious? why has no one done this yet! haha i dig the flippy lights and so do my friends but i want to get all weight crazy. i am aimin for 2200!

Raptor13x · 07-09-2009, 10:03 PM

I have 2200, I'm aiming for 2000.

traintech86 · 07-11-2009, 12:29 AM

i know i was reading up on your thread and ill def be tryin to match with you. you removed all the AC lines and all that right?

Raptor13x · 07-11-2009, 01:22 AM

Oh yeah. A/C is the first thing to go. It's useless, dead weight.

traintech86 · 07-11-2009, 02:40 AM

like i said in another forum, AC = Tops off @ 70MPH lol. i will be following suit. i wish you lived closer so i could pick your brain!

Raptor13x · 07-11-2009, 05:24 AM

lol

I'm starting to change my mindset on weight reduction a bit. Why take a heavy car and pull a few parts off here and there? Why not start with a super lightweight car and tube-frame it? - start from scratch with a minimalist design from the ground up. If I ever have a) money, and b) a place to work on a car, I'm seriously considering building a tube-framed, all fiberglass body Austin Healey Sprite, with double wishbone suspension, shocks from a YZF-R1, Miata hubs and brakes, and a 20b rotary swapped in. I think I could get it under 1200lbs dry, and the 20b should make 400+hp with a few mods. I spent 4 hours earlier tonight planning the chassis/roll cage. Too bad I don't have a good place to work, because I think this idea is made completely of win. Plus, being a 1958-60 car, it'd be immune to all emissions laws.

Man thats awesome!! If you ever put that together you definitely need to post some pics of it. That just sounds like a really fun set up to drive.

Raptor13x · 07-12-2009, 11:41 PM

It would be a kick ass project. I just wish I had the money and a place to build.

Anyone have more pics of the old SPI car? I have the Import Tuner that it was in from 2001, somewhere around here..

Mark_Dorman · 07-31-2009, 01:19 PM

^That looks like a 3000GT conversion...

z32luver · 09-04-2009, 05:24 AM

Anyone know if there is anyone out there making 90-95 MR2 head light conversions besides the REV6's that fit in place of the OEM head lights or minor mods to make them fit ?

We used to sell these, but no longer do:

I think you can still buy them from CarBen Fibre Creations - Quad Headlight Conversion
